If you're sure it wasn't the fan at the back, then it could be the drive on it's way out. Probably is worth thinking of replacing it if you can.

240GB is a bit on the small side, don't you think? I'd be going larger, not smaller. I'd get a WD Red or Purple drive.




People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Might be indication that problems are developing, probably good time to ensure you have a backup image though.

I don't worry about what's on the drive. it only records news etc ...

1) can I replace the drive without the current one (eg if it fries itself)

2) I am guessing it needs a 3.5" drive? will it connect to a 2.5" one?

If it's only for news, then sure I guess the smaller drive should be fine. Give it a go. 

You need the image of at least the system part of the drive. Keep a copy of the image just in case the SSD fails at some point,

Just use a 3.5" to 2.5" adapter to bolt the drive in and you're away.

Yeah good idea I think, just in case.
